Water unaffordable for millions of Americans

The great thing about water, from a corporation’s perspective, is that unlike electricity it’s a slow motion killer. If you don’t have clean water the link between that and premature death isn’t sufficiently obvious that a tea party or Drumpf voter could grasp it.

It turns more insidious in a lot of U.S. municipalities. Despite being seen as a requirement, you’re of course entirely on the hook for paying for your own electricity and water. So if something happens to where you can no longer pay and have your service cut off, the local health and safety board can tell you that you can no longer live there.
